Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 4 cups Fresh broccoli florets
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
Blanch the broccoli in a pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add the shredded chicken, blanched broccoli, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Mix well to coat all ingredients evenly.
Pour the chicken-broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
